Are you aware of the fact that in
 {1}
{1, 2}
{1, 2, 3}
...
{1, 2, 3, ..., n}
...
 up to every n infinitely many natural numbers of the whole set
 {1, 2, 3, ...}
 are missing? Infinitely many of them will never be mentioned
individually. They are dark.

 For example, if we pick 5 for n we have
 {1}
{1, 2}
{1, 2, 3}
{1, 2, 3, 4}
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
 then 6 and infinitely many other numbers are missing. So numbers
6, and 7 are dark as are ingfinitely many other numbers.
 

Maybe for a 3-year old child. Doves can count to 7. Earthworms may fail
at 1 already. It depends on the system. But important is that no system
can get over the infinite gap of dark numbers.
 

Nein, das ist schlecht.

 Aber nicht zu ändern.

 If it is that bad then don't even try to chage it. Just drop it into
a garbage can.
 

It is better to know the truth than to shut your eyes.
